Bertelsmann Foundation

Gütersloh, Germany

The Bertelsmann Foundation views itself as an institution whose work is operative and conceptual. The Foundation conceives and initiates the projects pursued or actively accompanies the projects from their formulation to their practical realization, while working closely with competent partners from scientific, government or private institutions.

With its work the Bertelsmann Foundation strives to tangibly contribute to the solution of current social problems. Its projects are practice-oriented to serve as models and examples, for experience shows that theoretical analyses and empirical research alone do not send out lasting evolutionary impulses.
